ril19:
I understand your feel bro. you prolly feel like "how could a God who is Almighty and powerful allow all these tragic events befall his creations?"
Well there is an answer. Remember God did not intend it to be this way because from the creation account God put the first human pair in a garden where they simply lacked nothing. Next God blessed them, telling them to extend that beautiful garden to other parts of the earth. You know how the rest of the story goes. Buh rest assured that God will act soon to remove the wicked and end all suffering. THAT'S A PROMISE FROM GOD HIMSELF!

First question I will like you to ask yourself and seek open minded, sincere and honest answer for is
How did me as well as other people in this part of the world get to know about that name and entity called "God"

ki02020:
GOD! Even one of the acclaimed most secured country is vulnerable to attack....GOD please protect me even in my sense of full confident

Stop calling unto a phantom being called "God"

That entity is not your creator

jonhemma11:
More

France, Britain as well as the other european and Arab slave/colonial masters will all eventually pay for the evil they commited against other groups of people

This is just a fact of life

Ibebe:
Brain development helps one reason between right and wrong.

Brain development also helps us to keep emotions in check....


Now you're saying your emotions are dead. Go and do an MRI scan of your brain.

Like I said
I don't do emotions
My emotions are dead
I only do things based on what is right

The fact that many people have not gotten themselves to the level where they can act this way does not mean it is not possible

This is not about science
Scientist didn't create you

Skillz4u:
A rose was placed in a bullet hole in a restaurant window with a note reading: "In the name of what?"(Reuters) An open call on Facebook asking people not to blame Muslims for the Paris terror attacks has gone viral with over 28 thousand likes, 10,000 comments and 26,000 shares .
Leigh Matthews, from Cardiff, posted his feelings about anti-Muslim sentiments on his Facebook page earlier today..It reads
Can I just take this opportunity to remind you all that Mr Mohammed from your local shop wasn't involved in last nights attacks on Paris. Neither was Mrs Azeer from Lloyds Bank or her family. Kamal from down the road has never been to Paris, and his brother Abdul, the taxi driver, was watching the news in horror along with everyone else.
The people behind last night's attacks weren't Muslims, they were extremists using religion as vindication for their cowardice.
Please, I urge each and everyone of you, do not lay blame at the doors of the innocent just because of what they believe. They are no more to blame for Paris than you are.
We are one world and one family. Treat each other as such, because what happened last night should bring us closer together, not make us lash out against our neighbours for a perceived religion affiliation

Islam (and religion ) does not make people to reason properly
You are writing heartfelt message to people you killed and still plan to kill based on the instructions of your religion
And you expect the people to take you seriously

Ibebe:
It doesn't?

Go back to school.

Let's try your theory by letting me bash your frontal lobe in.

What does going to school have to do with anything

Like I said
Emotions are useless
In life you have only 2 choices when doing anything
What is right
And
What is not right (not what is wrong cause what is not right might not be wrong but that doesn't still make it right)

You are ment to only choose between what is right and is not right
You don't choose between good and bad
Cause good and bad are subject to sentiments
Sentiments are as a result of emotional attachments

The right thing to do at every point is known by everyone
You have your conscience and ability to. Reason to guide you in that regard

In this case regarding the subject of the matter
Anyone who has a conscience and can reason properly will see that
Biafra is the right thing

Truckpusher:
Sometimes you just have to say soemthing else and not always the truth or the lies but saying what soothes a particular man or woman.

You use to be smarter than that.

You have finally seen all the Eurobomber for who he his, but he made threads and comments that has created a deep diusnity.And when I pointed it out I was greeted with insults and curses

Did you remember a particular thread where I said that an average Igbo man is too loud and too emotionally and psychologically unstable?
That wasn't an insult and always read between the lines.
These guys are in your head

??@#/?
What is ur post really about??



Don't get how ur post relates to me

Ibebe:
Are you sure? People with dead brain have dead emotions.

Emotions has nothing to do with your brain

Emotions are useless
They do not truely solve anything
They only cloud your sense of judgement and your ability to reason proparely
Making you make wrong decisions and eventually creating problems for your self

Yeske2:
Where is your director?

I have no director

My statement was to tell you the bottom line truth of this matter

Truckpusher:
Calm down my friend - Emotional men don't win the battle of the mind.

I don't have emotions
My emotions are dead
I only do things based on the truth and what is right

Abagworo:
Let me tell you one thing that Igbos lack that has hindered our political relevance in Nigeria. It is the word saboteur being misused and trying to surpress opposing views even among Igbos. Nnamdi Kanu does not know much and sounds so empty and bereft of ideas to better the Igbo nation. He generated sizeable followership among Igbos and was intoxicated with the new found media weapon that he was using it against whoever has different belief. He has attacked Okorocha, Obiano and even the Catholic Church. His popularity dropped in Imo State the day he started the war with Catholic Church.

It does not matter what anyone thinks or says
In the end
Biafra will be restored

Rose2014:
See this Benue guy again claiming "our region"
It's official, You have no shame

Liers, decievers, cheats, 2faced backstabbers and cowards have no shame
These are activities for shameless people

pazienza:
[b] Whenever you see an Igbo man shouting one Nigeria, 3 things are involved:

1. He is mentally slow and should in that case be forgiven.

2. He has selfish interests to protect in Nigeria, it doesn't matter if the rest of his people burns and are denigrated, as one Nigeria must be preserved to serve his selfish interests, which might range from political, emotional( love) , economic and other senseless interests

3. He has no knowledge of his Igbo history. You know they don't teach history in Nigerian schools. His Nigerian education system failed him, and worst still, his parents failed him, for not teaching him about the history of his people. He ultimately gets to learn the history of his people through outsiders and detractors, and of course the version of history they give him is a false one albeit anti- Igbo, so he develops self hate for himself and his group. We have many of them on NL. This happens more to Igbos born and raised in Lagos and other non Igbo parts of Nigeria.

Any mentally stable, unselfish Igbo man who knows the history of Igbo people in Nigeria, is innately Biafran to the core.

He might disagree with methods used by Igbo groups to achieve Biafra, but he is never pro Nigerian, Never! [/b]

4. His ancestry is questionable

EUROBOMBER:
Must you break your family to solve your problems?

Nigeria is not and can never ever be a family

EUROBOMBER:
I want us to quench the agitation completely.

You will die trying
Cause
It can never happen

Biafra's restoration is unstoppable

EUROBOMBER:
I want all pro Nigeria Igbos to fall in here.

The recent agitation for Biafra has reached a stage that I cannot pretend I am not disturbed by.

How do you think we can quench this agitation successfuly?

I personally still believe in Nigeria despite our challenges. If the truth must be told we are responsible for most of the problems confronting the Igbo nation today. We don't have to throw away the baby with the bath water.

Intelligent suggestions please.

IPOB please stay away.

Pro Nigerian = pro slavery = Big FOOL

Quenching agitation = fruitless venture = an idiot

Habiodunz:
Following the terrorist attack in Paris yesterday, people all over the world have been calling for prayers for Paris.
Nigerian rapper, also joined the bandwagon but instead of being given props for the post, he was heavily tongue-lashed for not beginning his charity from his motherland that has been experiencing similar attacks from Boko Haram for some time now.

Very very stupid comment Phyno

Kestolovee95:
I don't believe this tales, every fact there can be gotten from radioBiafra. Biafra is not just about Igbo, it is about Biafra. I see some divide-and-rule ingredients there.

@ "divide and rule ingredient"
As expected
Every trick is applied in order to destroy the movement
Biafrans should be aware and prepared for this by now


The article is obviously a fraud

Kanu is fighting for the restoration of Biafra
Not some phantom igbo marginalisation

I don't take this article seriously

Airforce1:
Many Nigerians are damn hypocrites.
During the Jos bombing how many of you prayed and fasted for them, thousands of souls have been sacrificed in the northern part of the country and still counting, which day did any of us prayed for them or even use “Pray for the Boko Haram victims" as dp or status.

But I'm surprised common Nigerians who don't even know where Cotonou is are using “Pray for Paris" and i laughed. What hypocritical message are you guys trying to pass across, nonsense.

That's one thing the white would never do, your country men have been facing crisis and being killed in tones daily and you act like its one of those thing, or none of your business, but Paris are just tasting 1out of 100 of what is happening in our country and some idiots went as far as creating a prayer dp for them, while some hypocrites who don't even know where Paris is are forming familiarity by using it.
Like i always say, we are the problems of ourselves in this country.

Inferiority complex, ignorance, insolence and hypocrisy is running in all those using that useless “ Pray for Paris" dp and status.
Do you even know how many IDP camps we have in this country?, do you know how many children's future have been shattered?, have you forgotten about the Chibok girls so fast?..... When last did someone prayed for them or created a prayer dp or status for us to use in solidarity for them.
Until you have the taste of boundage, you won't know the value of freedom. Word for the wise.

God bless my country.

Nigeria is a country ment for liers, decievers, cheats, theives, backstabbers, terrorists, killers, evil and wicked people

If you are none of the above
You have no business being a Nigerian

kYjelly2:
Stella oduah was hounded for spending 255 million for bullet proof cars as a minister while Fashola who spent 78 million naira for a common website is hailed as the beacon of change

Lets even do some analysis, isn't what Stella bought closer to the amount she spent, than what fashola spent in relation to what he got

In other words, isn't it easier to get away with 255 million for 2 bullet proof cars than it is to get away with 78 million naira for a brochure website any where in the world

Yet he got away, due to naijas never ending hypocrisy

Practical example, BMW has a bullet proof X5 going for 110,000 pounds. multiply by two, that would be 220,000 pounds. that only resists ak47 shells but isn't blast proof. we can argue for sake of argument that blast proofing would increase the price tag and get the number closer to 500,000 pounds or more.

Now please tell me a brochure site that has ever been created for more than 500,000 naira before anywhere in the world. A brochure site is different from an application, which nairaland and facebook are and even those were created by young kids just meddling with what they loved.

So how is it that one was hounded and the other was not even question by the EFCC and allowed to sail into a ministry as a minster?

One was removed while being a minister, while the other is accepted even with a more obvious misappropriation case to answer to.

It just seems naija is filled with hyprocrites.

Now back to the praise singing of Fashola the change that will change ministry, mtcheew.

As always, for the love of country, this country will get better by fire by fore, but the hypocrites will answer one day, if not here then in the life beyond, mtcheew

You guys keep wasting your time with trival symptomatic issues
Nigeria is heading for destruction

Every fraudulent organisation gets destroyed eventually
This is a fact of life

Understand this
And save yourself the stress of trying to make the so called Nigeria work

HIPROFILE:
I found my self speechless and dumbfounded as I reasoned through flash back of events in nigeria with respect to the agitation from several groups even on media for the recapture of over 200 girls claimed to have been abducted by the dreaded terror group in nigeria (boko haram) on the 14 day of April 2014.

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/01/parents-chibok-girls-protest-un/

I recall vividly that the protests was at it's peak during the electioneering period and was seriously used by the then opposition party against the ruling party.

http://saharareporters.com/photos/citizen-arise-protest-presidents-inaction-chibok-girls

His Excellency President Buhari promised in one of his campaign speeches that bringing back the CHIBOK girls is one of his top agenda.
It's over 20 calendar months now and nothing has been done about these girls. it's quite hilarious and suspicious to note that the president who finally took power despite his vows is no longer saying anything about the CHIBOK girls nat jast that I also observed that the teaming groups lead by various activists e.g Oby Ezekwesili, #bringbackourgirls# trending on Twitter and host of others suddenly stopped agitating for CHIBOK girls. not to forget the parents of these girls who where in one occasion reported to almost went about the streets unclad for the release of their girls.

Now these are the questions I asked myself which I have nat been able to answer :
1. where is Oby Ezekwesili and her groups
2. what happened to #bringbackourgirls# on Twitter.
3. I heard then that Jonathan was clueless and does nat know how to go about getting back these girls. does it now mean that Buhari is far more clueless than Jonathan?
4. Where are the parents of these girls have they suddenly disappeared into the air?

Which way Nigeria, why do we always allow our ambitious and selfish 'rulers' to use, fool, confuse and left us fighting one another why they go on with their nefarious loots.

IT IS HEARTBREAKING!

This is one of the reasons why the slave contraception called "Nigga Area" aka Nigeria is going to be totally and completely destroyed
I repeat
It is going to be totally and completely destroyed


It is an unfurtunate contraception sustained by lies, deciet, wickedness and evil


The earlier people realise this
The better for them

noblezone:
Tell them to negotiate.
Shooting and killing will add more to the struggle.

The North has rejected the 2014 Confab report!
Imagine the insult!

Shame on all cowards.

Only negotiations that will be accepted is the restoration of Biafra
Anything else
Is a total and complete waste of time


It's not like you can even trust the demonic Nigerian government even if you wanted to negotiate something else

Biafra movement is not ment for elders
It is ment for the young

These so called elders all deserve to be brought in front of the public and shoot to death

They are nothing but a disgrace to themselves, their children and anyone associated with them

Any young person still listening to these elders deserve to live a miserable life

Obiagu1:
In Biafra, there will be Igbo, Ibibio, Ogoni, Ijaw, Edo, and Northern Provinces.
Each of these provinces controls their resources 100%.
The population of non-Igbos is almost equal to the Igbos.

Now tell me, how can the Igbo dominate or cheat others out of their resources when the Igbo don't control it?

Edo has no business with biafra


They are not Biafrans

bolanto24:
I am an Ijaw from Odi town in Kolokuma/Opokuma L.G.A of Bayelsa State.

In recent times, the polity is filled with demonstrations/protests from the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in the South East and Some South - South States due to the arrest and detention of their leader Nnamdi Kanu by the F.G. Some supposedly "proud Nigerians" have capped it as an opposition sponsored protests cos of the lost elections of the PDP, which is nothing but ridiculous and preposterous. It is a fact there has always been a pro-biafra movement from the regime of OBJ to GEJ.

Now my main aim of putting the piece together is to call on the Ijaw Nation to stand up and take the side of truth. The side of truth against injustice. The side of truth for equity and fairness. The side of truth that there are many voices against the present structure/system in the country.

While the Ijaw Nation as arguably the fourth largest tribe in the country have contributed immensely to the Nigerian state, we are been bedeviled with youth restiveness, marginalization, under development and continuous suffering of our people for God knows how long.

Can we continue to tell ourselves that all is well when it is not? For how long shall we continue to live like this? For how long shall we endure the pains and sufferings of our people due to the silent treatment the Federal government has given to the supposedly "minorities"? Why do we fake our unity? Of what gain is one Nigeria? So that the born to rule over-populated North will continue to marginalize, oppress and feed fat on the God given resources of the supposedly " minorities "?

Why has the Buhari government dumbed the Confab 2014 report? Does it not favor the North? Implementing it is a step closer in addressing the yearnings and agitations in the country. I think it's time we the South should occupy Nigeria and protest for the implementation of that report. It is paramount for Peace, Unity and Development of the country.

The Ijaw Nation and other Nationalities in the Niger Delta have asked for resource control, fiscal federalism, or regionalism by ethnicity for ages now, but what have we got? A mere 13% derivation. The Ijaw Nation have asked for the de-balkanization and creation of 3 Ijaw states but we only got 1 in 1996, thereby making many Ijaws as minorities in those states they find themselves.

Taking the side of truth and standing with our Igbo brothers will send a message to the FG that there are discontented views and opinions in the creeks that more and more Niger Deltans are beginning to buy the idea of self rule/determination. The Ijaw Nation should stand with our Igbo brothers through thick and thin. We should not do the same mistake our fathers did in 1967 by siding with the FG. It was a big mistake. If we stood with them then, only God knows how far we would have come now.

The Ijaw National Congress (INC), Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), or the Ijaw Peoples Assembly (IPA) should issue a a statement condemning the act of violence and intimidation meted on the protesters by the authorities, and Nnamdi Kanu should be released unconditionally.

There is a saying that " the oppressed will continue to be oppressed only to the extent the oppressed allow the oppressor". If you keep quiet when you see oppression, you have taken the side of the oppressor. Evil thrives only when good men decide to keep quiet.

Any Izon aka ijaw person that saw how Jonathan was threated through out his stay within the Federal government and still believe in so called Nigga area aka Nigeria
Is nothing but a BIG FOOL

Such people deserve to be taken into slavery similarly to what african americans experienced

mentorandfriend:
I have seen how Biafran agitators are going about the business of pushing for freedom of self determination and rule. In Portharcourt on Tuesday, I watched the protest live from the safety of my friend's car. We both were shocked at the crudeness on display.

I thought on these fifteen short points and I'll like to draw my Igbo brothers' attention to them. Let's reason together.

1) First of all, I am a Nigerian. I believe in the sovereignty and indivisibility of our country; the giant of Africa.

2) The almagation of the Northern and Southern proctorates in 1914 by Lord Fredrich Lugard has been termed as a marriage of convenience in some quatres in different times, by different leaders of thought. I cannot agree less.

3) A nation has been defined as a group of people with same culture (language, dressing, food, etc) and religion existing together within a geographical space. Nigeria is not a nation; agreed! We have have a lot of differences among us. Several people in times past have mounted on this to stir messages of hate, division, polictical chauvaunism and manipulation, etc.

4) In this line, we have on our hands in recent weeks, the agitation by some people of mainly Igbo extraction of the South Eastern part of Nigeria who are vigourously agitating for their rights to self determination and rule.

5) Yes, I am Igbo, but I do not wish to use my space to endorse how they're going about this Biafra struggle.

Do I support Biafran claims? Yes!

But do I support how they're going about it? No. We are creating hardship for traders, creating more hatred for Igbos who work in National institutions and public cooperations. I stand for peace, unity, equity, and progress in the one entity, Nigeria.

6) We must ask ourselves salient questions: Who are the leaders and strategists behind these seccesion movement? Are they responsible thought leaders? Are they people who have succeeded in their own right as leaders and captains of industries or are they a bunch of bitter, directionless, disgruntled elements looking for gain or who to pass on the blame for their failures in life?

7) I'll say this once, may be till another opportunity comes. This movement is being spearheaded by jobless graduates and traders facing a backlash of the recent austerity measures put in place by the new government due to dwindling oil prices in the international market.

However, successful Igbo traders in Lagos and Abuja and Kaduna, academicians, career civil servants and policticians of Igbo extraction care less.

7) I have not heard Slok boss, Capital Oil boss, Coscharis boss, Innoson, Chikason, Ibeto, TREM bishop, musicians with national appeal in the market and millions of other successful Igbo people who have investments worth billions of naira in Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Portharcourt, Jos and Kano promoting Biafra.

God has blessed their hustle. Pray that God will bless your own hustle too so you won't rise up to blame another person for your failures.

8.) Is Nigeria really our problem in the south east? In what specific ways? There are bad roads in the south west, north west, south east, south south, everywhere. Our challenges are not peculiar to us. Our collective problem in Nigeria is bad leadership, no more no less.

Will this get better with a Biafran country? The probability is half! How far have our own governors gone in fixing our roads and paying workers' salaries as at when due? States like Abia state has been written off by its residents and indigenes alike. Perhaps it is an Hausa man's fault or a Yoruba man's fault too. Who knows!

How many of our South Eastern governors have created massive job opporrunities for the teeming graduates being turned out each year? Nigeria has a projected population of about 170 million people. It is estimated that there are about 15 million Igbos living outside the five core eastern states, with about 4 million alone in Lagos. Where are the jobs in the South East for these people who will experience a bitter reprisal movement by the Nigerian government when we have our Biafra which will force them out of their places of abode back home. Can they be contained here?

As you take to the streets to protest, think outside the box first.

Could it be that we are our own problem? Have we addressed our problems of greed, kidnapping, hatred for one another? Have you not heard the proverb among the Igbo people that if you see a snake and an Mbaise man, kill the Mbaise man first before the snake? Have you heard about the Osu caste system and how they are avoided like plague? No one wants to marry them, except among themselves. I can go on and on.

How much have our senators represented us? Any visible constituency project? If these people can loot with brazen impunity in Nigeria with strong institutions as the police, judiciary, EFCC, ICPC, NDLEA, etc, don't even begin to think of how they will loot with freedom in baby Biafra. Who will stop them? You? Dream on.

10) OK. I've seen a map of the 25 provinces of Biafra. I laughed till I had no more strength to laugh. Imagine Warri, Yenegoa, Portharcourt, Benin city, Eket, Ogoja, Uyo, on our map. Are our expectations realistic at all?

11) I work for a multinational health agency and I have stayed for weeks and months in Warri, Yenegoa, Benin city and Portharcourt. I have interacted with the people on the street and anyone who promotes the talk of Biafra happened to be a core Igbo man from any of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. I can summarily say that the talk of Niger Deltans leaving Nigeria to follow Igbos to form a new nation is laughable. They will rather demand for Niger Delta Republic than trust Igbos. They don't want to be part of this!

If you get what I'm driving at, you should know that the hope of huge oil revenue for the new country is simply a busy-body talk!

12) If Biafra is thus about the five south eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo, then we must brace ourselves because we're on a long thing. It seems we've been deceived through the stirring of our emotions by someone who is making cool pounds sterling and American dollars in far away UK by just talking into some gadgets from the comfort of his room.

I learnt financial donations keep pouring in for Radio Biafra's Nnamdi Kanu. Dude has discovered a cool business idea. After all, he is an Igbo man, a son of the soil so money must be made. Lol.

While he is receiving financial donations in hard currency to do nothing in particular, some misguided and misinformed traders are closing their shops for protest. (Shaking my head).

13) But on the other hand, the Nigerian government must call Ohaneze Ndigbo and other influencers in Igbo land (I mean academicians, top civil servants, policticians and captains of industries) to the negotiation table at the State House so that ways to curtail this uprising that threatens our collective peace can be discussed.

Their agenda should include looking into the total breakdown of infrasture in the south east (roads, airports, universities, etc). Work on second Niger bridge must be hastened, visibly! Friendly policies that favour businessmen must be formulated because the Igbo man is a trader; inherently. Import waivers should be encouraged and custom duties relaxed.

Buhari and his new cabinet should go to work immediately. The ministries headed by Fashola, Okechukwu Emenalah, Dr Chris Ngige, and Rotimi Amaechi are key.

14) I believe in Nigeria. Millions of Igbo people are making billions of naira in Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt, Jos, Kaduna and Kano. They have risen above hate and helplessness.

15) Pray that God blesses your own hustle too so you won't cast blames on another person for your failures tommorrow.

God bless Nigeria.

Are you people not tired of this long writups here and there

Stop stressing yourselves

Nothing can stop it

11) I work for a multinational health agency and I have stayed for weeks and months in Warri, Yenegoa, Benin city and Portharcourt. I have interacted with the people on the street and anyone who promotes the talk of Biafra happened to be a core Igbo man from any of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. I can summarily say that the talk of Niger Deltans leaving Nigeria to follow Igbos to form a new nation is laughable. They will rather demand for Niger Delta Republic than trust Igbos. They don't want to be part of this!

If you get what I'm driving at, you should know that the hope of huge oil revenue for the new country is simply a busy-body talk!

12) If Biafra is thus about the five south eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo, then we must brace ourselves because we're on a long thing. It seems we've been deceived through the stirring of our emotions by someone who is making cool pounds sterling and American dollars in far away UK by just talking into some gadgets from the comfort of his room.

I learnt financial donations keep pouring in for Radio Biafra's Nnamdi Kanu. Dude has discovered a cool business idea. After all, he is an Igbo man, a son of the soil so money must be made. Lol.

While he is receiving financial donations in hard currency to do nothing in particular, some misguided and misinformed traders are closing their shops for protest. (Shaking my head).

13) But on the other hand, the Nigerian government must call Ohaneze Ndigbo and other influencers in Igbo land (I mean academicians, top civil servants, policticians and captains of industries) to the negotiation table at the State House so that ways to curtail this uprising that threatens our collective peace can be discussed.

Their agenda should include looking into the total breakdown of infrasture in the south east (roads, airports, universities, etc). Work on second Niger bridge must be hastened, visibly! Friendly policies that favour businessmen must be formulated because the Igbo man is a trader; inherently. Import waivers should be encouraged and custom duties relaxed.

Buhari and his new cabinet should go to work immediately. The ministries headed by Fashola, Okechukwu Emenalah, Dr Chris Ngige, and Rotimi Amaechi are key.

14) I believe in Nigeria. Millions of Igbo people are making billions of naira in Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt, Jos, Kaduna and Kano. They have risen above hate and helplessness.

15) Pray that God blesses your own hustle too so you won't cast blames on another person for your failures tommorrow.

God bless Nigeria.
